MEDIA BRIEFS: No digital radio switch date set yet

The Government has admitted that there will be no early date for a wholesale changeover to digital radio. This means that it could be a decade or more before listeners have to move to the medium, one analyst predicted. It is estimated that about 50,000 people are listening to digital in the UK at present, with 160 stations on air.
